There will always be a troublesome moment at the fork in the road, not because of the option itself, but because of the result.

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze looked at the dejected Wu Jinyan, if he didn't redeem the things he pawned within the time limit, the three ladies would definitely ask him for his life in the future. Fang Fan sighed and asked.

"What did you think was there?"

Wu Jinyan hesitated, refusing to speak. Zhang Ze's temper came up and said.

"When do you still want to hide it? Do you also want to be suspended a few hundred meters in the air like your master? ”

"I..."

Fang Fan said softly.

"Don't be afraid, we'll help you with anything."

Wu Jinyan unbuttoned his shirt one by one, revealing a long scar on his chest.

"What is this?"

Wu Jinyan closed his shirt and said.

"This is what I pawned at the third lady."

"You didn't give her your heart, did you?"

Wu Jinyan nodded, hesitated for a moment and said.

"Sort of, but only half of it was given to her."

Zhang Ze sneered and said.

"Half? This surgical technique is beyond the reach of all surgeons in the world. ”

Fang Fan glanced at Zhang Ze and then asked.

"How much is the ransom? How long is the term? ”

Wu Jinyan changed his nervous and depressed mood just now, and said lightly.

"It doesn't matter."

Fang Fan was stunned for a moment and asked.

"What do you mean by that?"

It doesn't matter how much the ransom is, how long it is. Anyway, Master is dead, and I don't have anything to worry about anymore. ”

"Hey, hey, boy. You..."

Fang Fan stopped Zhang Ze, he was afraid that Zhang Ze would say some shocking words again, which would stimulate Wu Jinyan's sensitive nerves.

"Go out and pour me a glass of water."

Zhang Ze pouted and went out. Fang Fan asked.

"Do you have something unspeakable?"

Wu Jinyan lay on the table, buried his head between the crooks of his arms, he looked at Fang Fan's concerned eyes from the gap, and then buried his face back in the crooks of his arms.

"All of them are hypocritical."

"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and I will try my best to help you."

As soon as the words fell, Wu Jinyan looked at Fang Fan with fire in his eyes, and then slammed his fists on the table, which was originally smashed out of a pit by him and was murdered once.

", I don't need your sympathy."

At this time, Zhang Ze happened to push the door in, looked at Wu Jinyan, who was going crazy, and shouted.

"Boy, what do you want."

Fang Fan hurriedly said.

"It's okay."

Then he said to Wu Jinyan.

"Okay, you calm down, we won't bother you."

With that, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze left the interrogation room. Fang Fan frowned and said nothing, Zhang Ze said on the side.

"Old Fang, if you're still angry, I'll go in and beat that guy. Anyway, we have the privilege of the Shadow Army, as long as we don't kill them. ”

Fang Fan said as white as Zhang Ze.

"When will you be able to think with your head instead of your fists?"

"I'm not trying to vent my anger for you."

"It's easy to get angry for me. Just find out the relationship between Wu Jinyan and his master Gu Pansheng. ”

"Aren't they just a mentor-apprentice relationship? What else could it have to do with it? Could it be that there really is a PY deal between them? ”

Fang Fan looked at Zhang Ze helplessly and said.

"I'd love to pry open your 37-yard skull and see if there's something strange inside, and if there's only one brain with a radius of 1 centimeter."

"Just say it, someone else will attack."

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, and I'll go to Wu Jinyan's unit with me."

"You're the boss, you can go wherever you say."

The two drove to Wu Jinyan's workplace. For some reason, the public institution reveals an old-fashioned atmosphere from the inside out, and every employee is dressed several times longer than their actual age. Fang Fan walked over to a desk and asked.

"Hello, I'll look for Wu Jinyan."

The other party glanced up at Fang Fan and then lowered his head to busy with the work in his hand, and said after a while.

"Go to the next room and ask, he's not with us."

The two went to the next room, and the door said the director's office. Fang Fan knocked on the door and shouted inside.

"Please come in."

The two pushed the door open and went in, and saw a man about forty years old sitting behind the desk, who was supposed to be the director.

"Is there anything wrong with you two?"

Fang Fan said with a smile.

"We are here to find Wu Jinyan, do you know where he is?"

The man frowned and said.

"He hasn't come to work for several days, and he is said to have been taken away by the police, so go to the police station to find him."

Fang Fan looked at the director's expression and asked.

"You are the leader of Wu Jinyan, right?"

"Sort of."

"We are here for another purpose, that is, to learn about Wu Jinyan's usual personality, and how is his relationship with other colleagues?"

"Who are you?"

This stopped Fang Fan, since the two of them resigned, they had no documents, how could they prove their identity to others. Just when Fang Fan was at a loss, Zhang Ze said.

"We are distant relatives of Wu Jinyan, and recently I heard that he was not emotionally stable, so we came to Zhonghai City to see him. I didn't know that I couldn't find him after looking for a long time, so I came to his unit to ask. ”

"Then you can go to the police station and look for him."

"You also know that people like us who come from small places are afraid of officials, and they may not be able to meet him."

The director sighed and said.

"Sit down."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze sat on the sofa, and the director said.

"Wu Jinyan is a recent college graduate who was assigned to us for an internship. usually speaks little, but recently he has been very close to Gu Pansheng. But unfortunately, Gu Pansheng passed away some time ago. ”

"Ah, that's really unfortunate."

The director nodded, and continued.

Wu Jinyan didn't know this news, and the unit sent him on a business trip some time ago. On the one hand, he is on a business trip, and on the other hand, you want him to go to the doctor? ”

Fang Fan interrupted.

"Huh? What disease did Wu Jinyan have? ”

"Aren't you his relatives?"

Zhang Ze said with a smile.

"We're just distant relatives of his, so there's something we don't know very well."

The director looked at Zhang Ze, his eyes were full of suspicion, and continued after a moment.

"ALS. Anyone with a little medical knowledge knows what this disease means. Wu Jinyan once fell into the gloom of life, and the whole person became more untalkative, and even a little insane, always avoiding others, and looking at people became very weird. His eyes were full of vigilance, as if everyone around him was going to harm him.

As a leader, you can't ignore such things. After learning about the situation several times, Gu Pansheng took the initiative to ask Ying to be willing to take care of Wu Jinyan at work. Through a period of observation, Wu Jinyan's mood and spirit have changed significantly with the help of Gu Pansheng. The good times didn't last long, although Wu Jinyan's situation improved, there were many more rumors about the relationship between him and Gu Pansheng.

Wu Jinyan fell into the abyss of being tormented by rumors, and he was later diagnosed with severe depression. We can only rely on drugs to stabilize our mood every day, and Wu Jinyan is no longer suitable for work, so we plan to persuade him to quit. But at this time, Gu Pansheng stood up and made a military order, don't persuade him to retire from the army and promote Yan, and he will definitely bring him back on the right track. ”

"And then?"

The director lit a cigarette and continued.

"To say that this Gu Pansheng did have two times, I don't know what method he used, in just a few months, Wu Jinyan resurrected the whole person with his help. This time, Gu Pansheng also invited everyone in the unit to get together once, firstly to celebrate Wu Jin's serious rebirth, and secondly, to clarify that the relationship between the two of them was just an ordinary colleague relationship, and there were no other messy relationships. ”

"But I'm afraid others don't think so, right?"

The director nodded and continued.

"That's right, the more you explain it, the more suspicious people are about it. This clarification not only did not help them, but gave those dazzling blessings to protect ironclad evidence. ”

Fang Fan rolled his eyes and said.

"Can you tell us who this dazzling master is?"

The director looked at Fang Fan vigilantly and asked.

"What? You're not going to retaliate, are you? ”

"How could it be. I don't think a lot of things are out of nowhere, and if they didn't do anything, where did the basis for other people's rumors come from? Many rumors are just caused by excessive amplification and exaggeration on the basis of the truth, and in the end, everyone is the same, and the three of them are tigers. ”

The director nodded and said.

"Then come with me."

The director took Fang Fan and Zhang Ze to a room where five people, three men and two women, were seated.

"Director, you're here."

The director looked at the young man who was greeting him in front of him and said.

"Xiao Ding, are you all here today?"

"Except for Gu Pansheng's master and apprentice, they are all together."

Fang Fan noticed at this time that a middle-aged woman sitting in the corner was nervously glancing at Fang Fan and them. At this time, the director said.

"Let's put aside the work at hand for the time being, these two are Wu Jinyan's relatives, I want to learn about Wu Jinyan's recent situation with you, and I hope you will actively cooperate."

After that, the middle-aged woman's expression became even more nervous. Fang Fan smiled, and then walked over to the middle-aged woman.

"Hello, there are some things I want to know from you."

The middle-aged woman suddenly looked up at Fang Fan, then smiled awkwardly and said.

"I don't know Wu Jinyan well, and I don't know anything about him, you can ask others."

"I haven't said anything about Wu Jinyan yet, why are you so nervous?"

"No... No, I'm not nervous. ”

Fang Fan noticed the ring marks on her finger and said with a smile.

"How long have you been divorced?"

The middle-aged woman suddenly became excited and said.

"This is my privacy, what does it have to do with you."

With that, she walked straight to the director and asked.

"Director, I don't think it's necessary for everyone here to answer any questions from Wu Jinyan's relatives, and they don't have the right to ask us to answer any questions."

Fang Fan looked at the woman with a calm expression and smiled, Zhang Ze walked out of the office and made a call. As soon as the middle-aged woman's voice fell, several people in the room, except for Xiao Ding, began to echo the voice. Xiao Ding shouted.

"Don't argue, everyone, since the director brought the two of them, it definitely makes sense."

The young girl sitting by the window whispered.

"Sycophants."

The other two men looked like they were watching the show, looking forward to what would happen next. The director said.

"Everyone, be quiet, these two have no ill intentions. Everyone knows that Wu Jinyan's situation is quite special, no matter what form it takes, if we can help, we will try to help him. Maybe these two will help Wu Jinyan's condition after understanding the situation. ”

The director is worthy of being the director, and a few words calmed down the turmoil in the office. At this time, Zhang Ze was waiting at the gate, and after a while, a black car stopped in front of him. Wu Binlong got out of the car and sorted out his clothes and asked.

"How's it going inside?"

"The old man himself is in it."

With that, Wu Binlong and Zhang Ze strode towards the office.

"Wu Ju, this is Wu Jinyan's leader."

Wu Binlong stretched out his hand and said.

"Hello, I am the chief of the Zhonghai City Police Department, Wu Binlong."

The director hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands and said.

"Hello, hello. My surname is Jiang and I am the chief of staff here. ”

"I apologize to you for the presumptuousness of two of my men."

Director Jiang looked at Fang Fan and Zhang Ze in surprise and said.

"But they just said that they were distant relatives of Wu Jinyan."

Wu Binlong looked at Fang Fan and Zhang Ze, and then explained.

"They also did this to protect Wu Jinyan's reputation, after all, Wu Jinyan's current identity is relatively special."

"Understood, understood."

"I've heard that you just ran into some obstacles during the investigation?"

"No, no, everyone is just a little emotional and excited, and it's okay."

Wu Binlong took out two documents from his pocket and handed them to Fang Fan and Zhang Ze, and said.

"Who's face is not as big as the two of you, and I have to come to deliver the documents in person, and I will go back for 5,000 words per person for a check."

Fang Fan said with a smile.

"You're bothered."

Wu Binlong turned to Director Jiang and said.

"I'm still causing you trouble, if there is anything too much between the two of them, please bear with me."

"Where, you can rest assured."

Wu Binlong said to Fang Fan and Zhang Ze.

"Don't be so tough, but if you receive a complaint, you can wait to be locked up in a small black room."

After that, Wu Bin left without looking back. Fang Fan said to Director Jiang.

"Director Jiang, since you already know our identities, I have a small request."

Director Jiang's attitude took a big turn, and he immediately said respectfully.

"You said, I will fully cooperate with whatever is requested."

"We want to ask them one by one."

"No problem."

Director Jiang arranged for Fang Fan and Zhang Ze to ask questions in the conference room next to them, and everyone thought that the first person to be called over must be the middle-aged woman, but they didn't expect that the first person to be called was actually the young girl sitting by the window. The girl was dressed fashionably, and even after knowing the identities of Fang Fan and Zhang Ze, she did not show any nervousness and anxiety. She sat opposite Fang Fan and Zhang Ze waiting to be questioned, Fang Fan said.

"What do you call it?"

"There's no need, right? Today's meeting is likely to be the last, and I have always been law-abiding. ”

Zhang Ze forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

"We can say whatever we ask you, otherwise it will be obstruction of official business."

The girl smiled disdainfully and said.

"Wen Mengmeng."

Zhang Ze thought that the name was quite cute, but people were so hard, are all girls so virtuous now? couldn't help but make him think of Wanli, this girl definitely has a fight with Wanli in terms of momentum. Fang Fan then asked.

"How is your relationship with Wu Jinyan?"

"Ordinary colleagues."

"Do you have anything to say about Gu Pansheng's gossip?"

"I don't care, I haven't understood my life yet, how can I care about others."

"Alright, you can go out."

The girl got up and went out, Zhang Ze asked.

"It's... That's it? ”

Judging by the girl's straightforward personality, she should disdain to spread those false rumors. Call the next one in. ”

The next one to come in was Xiao Ding, who brought two bowls of tea when he came in and said.

"The two leaders have worked hard, and we have caused trouble for the two of you."

Zhang Ze looked at Xiao Ding and suddenly had the feeling of seeing Liu Anguo, and this smile perfectly copied the essence of Liu Anguo.

"Thanks, sit down."

"If you two want to ask something, I promise to know everything."

"We want to know about the rumors about Gu Pansheng."

"Oh, that's it. I don't know very well, but Sister Niu knows better. ”

"Sister Niu?"

"It's the one you just quarreled with."

"Then do you have anything to say about Wu Jinyan?"

Xiao Ding shook his head and said.

"He doesn't have much to say."

"You guys don't seem to like him very much."

"Well, it's not like we mean to exclude him. Usually Wu Jinyan and we rarely talk, but every time we talk quietly, his eyes are very scary when he looks at us, as if he is going to eat us. ”

Fang Fan wrote the word suspicious on the paper, and then said.

"I know, you go and call Sister Niu in."

After a while, Sister Niu came in with a drooping face, it seemed that she was still angry about what happened just now, Fang Fan said.

"Hello, please be seated."

Sister Niu sat opposite Fang Fan angrily, and Fang Fan said with a smile.

"Hello, Sister Niu. I apologize to you for the offense just now, it was me who was wrong, and I bumped you into the words, I hope you can forgive me. ”

Sister Niu glanced at Fang Fan and said.

"Forget it, I don't have to go against myself. Tell me what you want to ask. ”

"Why were you so nervous when I mentioned Wu Jinyan and Gu Pansheng just now?"

"Joke, why am I nervous."

Fang Fan noticed that there was a sandalwood scent on her body, and she also had a talisman on her chest, and a bracelet on her wrist to ward off evil spirits. Fang Fan said with a smile.

"Do you usually believe in ghosts and gods?"

Sister Niu snorted and said.

"It's okay. Anyway, I believe in karma. ”

"Then you are not afraid of retribution?"

Sister Niu suddenly said with some displeasure.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Absolutely no offense to you. I just know that there is a layer of hell that punishes those who like to talk nonsense and spread rumors. And the person who died because of the rumor will definitely ask for the life of the rumor-monger on the night of the first seven. ”

Hearing this, Sister Niu's face became worse and worse, blue and white for a while. Said after a moment.

"The body is not afraid of the shadow, and if you haven't done it, you haven't done it."

"Oh well. If you insist on it, it's my eyes. You're ready to go. ”

Sister Niu got up and left the conference room quickly, Zhang Ze said.

"Old Fang, just let her go? There's obviously something wrong with this man. ”

"This kind of person just doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin."

With that, he cleaned up the things on the table and said.

"Zhang Ze, follow that big sister Niu at night."

"What are you doing?"

"Looks like some extraordinary measures are needed."

“OK。 I'm the best at that. ”

There was no need for the rest of the people to ask any more, Fang Fan chatted with Zhang Ze and Director Jiang for a while before leaving. As night fell, the two saw Sister Niu waiting for the bus at the bus stop from the coffee shop opposite.

"Zhang Ze, follow her."

Zhang Ze walked out of the café, briefly disguised, and also stood at the bus stop. Bus No. 65 drove into the station, and Zhang Ze and Sister Niu got on the bus together. After getting on the bus, Zhang Ze sent a message to Fang Fan, and Fang Fan smiled and looked at the bus in the distance.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Fang Fan came to the vicinity of Sister Niu's house. I saw Zhang Ze standing trembling in the wind.

"What's wrong with you? Hold your pee? ”

"Hold your fart, I'm freezing."

"Then why don't you find a place to warm up?"

"I thought, that old lady went in and never came out, I'm afraid I'll lose her."

"Where is it?"

Zhang Ze pointed to a mahjong parlor not far away.

"That's it. It's been more than 3 hours, and I'm wondering how she can sit still. ”

"Did you bring a photo of Gu Pansheng?"

Zhang Ze looked at Fang Fan with strange eyes and said.

"I'm not a pervert, what are you doing with his picture."

"Contact the police station and ask them to send us a photo of Gu Pansheng now."

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up."

The photo was sent to Zhang Ze's mobile phone.

"The picture has been swayed, what are you going to do?"

At this time, Sister Niu yawned and walked out of the mahjong parlor, she didn't care about Fang Fan and Zhang Ze under the dim street lamp, she turned a corner at the intersection and went home. Zhang Ze pointed at Sister Niu and said.

"I'll follow her, you take the photo to the mahjong parlor and ask Gu Pansheng if he has been here."

"Okay."

After Zhang Ze left, Fang Fan said with the nightmare in his body.

"Do me a favor."

"When something happens, I think of Uncle Ben, let's say, what's the matter."

"Play as a ghost."

"Do you still need to act?"

As soon as the words fell, the nightmare came out of Fang Fan's body. Fang Fan showed Gu Pansheng's photo to Wei and said.

"Become this person. Then come up to the woman and tell the woman that you died so miserably. ”

"Just to scare her."

"That's right."

"No problem."

The nightmare transformed into Gu Pansheng's appearance. Immediately after, a red light drifted towards the dim alley. This alley is the only way for Sister Niu to go home every day, although there is no street light, she has walked for so many years, even if she walks with her eyes closed, she can walk home. But today she had stumbled several times, and on several occasions she had almost fallen.

"What's going on with this broken road?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an eerie wind blew from the end of the alley.
